I’m building a web-based ordering platform inspired by Grubhub and DoorDash and need a developer who can take it from concept to a live, reliable site. Core features are already defined: customers must be able to register or sign in securely, browse searchable restaurant menus, and place orders they can track in real time with push or e-mail notifications. For payments, I only need credit and debit card processing right now—Stripe or a similar PCI-compliant gateway is fine—but please leave the door open in your architecture for other methods later. Because the rating and review component is still undecided, I’d like your professional advice on the best way to structure the database and UI so we can add or omit reviews without a major refactor. A mobile-first, responsive front end is important, and I expect clean, well-commented code (React, Vue, or another modern framework is welcome) paired with a scalable back end (Node, Laravel, Django—your call, as long as it supports REST or GraphQL APIs). An admin dashboard for onboarding restaurants, managing orders, and handling refunds is also part of the scope. Deliverables: • Fully functioning web application deployed to my hosting account • Source code in a private Git repo with instructions for local setup • Brief hand-off documentation covering environment variables, payment gateway configuration, and how to toggle the review feature If you’ve built something similar or can demo real-time order tracking, I’d love to see it. I also need an employee delivery driver application, approvals for employment, payments, private contractor employees pay their own taxes. Much like grubhub and DoorDash employees portal website. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Restaurants are required to pay a Monthly/Annual fee for being on the website - Include age verification for both the delivery drivers (for products requiring 21+ eligibility) and customers ordering those items (could be integrating a trusted third-party service for quick ID checks) - A distance-based system for delivery fees (option for restaurants to customize their fees based on distance or order value) - Optional coupon or discounts offered to customers by the restaurant
